❛ hey, that’s what happens when you let your guard down. ❜ so easily fooled. though not a battle - hardened warrior like him, musiea’s strength of heart is unquestionable—— he has no right to berate her for being incautious around him when there’s no more animosity separating them—— but it doesn’t mean that she is safe from harmless teasing. he cannot remember if the taste of apples were always this pleasing on his tongue, or if his former partner’s reaction is at fault for adding to the sweet flavor. he bets on the latter.
his prize finds its way back to his mouth, teeth ripping again through red and white despite her words. if anything, his unapologetic grin is an answer enough to her advice, not the slightest hint of remorse veiling cold eyes. his heart feeds indulgently on the sight of the familiar scowl she usually wears, the back of his hand wiping the negligence on his chin after taking a second mouthful of fruit. a heartbeat, before his chewing comes to a halt, offering musiea what was formerly hers. how generous of him, he thinks.
❛ it’s not too late to get a bite you know. besides, sharing is caring, right? ❜ he jests. ( at least, that’s what they say. ) / @piouspromise, continued from here!
